Merseyside Schools Championships

The highlight of a very poorly attended Merseyside Schools championship at Bebington was a new 300m club record by Mia Morrisroe who ran 40.9 and now ranks in the top 5 in the country.

I understand there are more Merseyside schools qualifying standards than places available, which is the first time this has happened for quite a few years. The selection meeting should be interesting….

BMC Meetings Trafford & Watford

Rare outings from Jonny Mellor and Charlie Hulson made for an interesting 3000m at Trafford, with Jonny Mellor outsprinting Tom Lancashire to win with Charlie Hulson in 3^rd. There was also a fine run from David Devine who took out his 3k PB. There were plenty of other PB’s with Dan Preston and Joe Ford taking big chunks off their 1500m PBs

John Ashcroft and Nzimah Akpan competed at Watford
